Incision planning and basic soft-tissue surgery

M S Freeman. Otolaryngol Clin North Am. 1990 Oct.

Abstract

Incisions in the head and neck region need not result in unsightly scars. For open incisions, use of the RSTL or skin creases, along with good soft-tissue technique and attention to detail on closure, will yield excellent cosmetic results.
